132. Stalemate
When Jiang Qi came to the Riazo Stadium again, it was difficult for him to feel even a trace of waves in his heart.
Although the last time I came to Riazor, I was in the infinitesimal theater of the illusory world with a clear mind, but the history that remained in my memory and was turned over was like a heavy mountain pressing on him, as if every breath of air from this stadium in his breath carried a bloody smell, as if AC Milan was not a hunter who had completed a 4:1 massacre, but a prey under the sharp teeth of the beast that had gone berserk on the opposite side.
However, although the Riazo Stadium is real this time, it is obviously missing the will to fight to the death, as the "Milan Sports Newspaper" said, the difference of five goals needs a period of time to lick the wounds, forget this nightmare, in this situation to regain the team's confidence, then the manager really needs the fanatical faith of a religious leader.
However, Irueta has done well enough, at least for the first 20 minutes, the Deportivo players were still actively looking for opportunities to open the goal guarded by Dida, but Jiang Qi's "steady" approach withstood the pressure from the opponent.
As a result, the subsequent games became mundane.
0:0! This is the final scoreline, which is a bit disappointing, but it makes sense when you think about it.
After qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals, Jiang Qi rushed to Siena with a group of players, and only after playing the league could he return to Milan for a precious full week of rest.
This will be followed by a back-to-back road trip, with Udinese away in the league and then the Champions League to continue the two-legged sequence of away and then home to Arsenal at Highbury Stadium in London.
Battle for the Peak! That's right, this is the definition of the Champions League semifinals by foreign media, when I received the news, it was the second day after Jiang Qi arrived in Siena, although the score of the first leg gave everyone a hunch, but when the final list of the top four was released, it can still be described as an uproar.
Although Monaco won at home, Arsenal is one of the most dazzling teams in the Europa this season, I don't know what means Professor Wenger used, in short, the Gunners who have recovered to full vitality did not give the French dark horse any chance, and the simple 3:0 victory over the opponent made the Gunners' odds climb again, and the gap with AC Milan is very small.
It is worth mentioning that the person who opened the door to victory for the Gunners in this game was Seedorf!
"The control of the rhythm is similar to that of a demon, and the all-round cold shot without dead ends is even more unguardable, and Seedorf has become the chain that connects Vieira and Henry, making the gunman more and more terrifying."
This is Sky Sports' post-match commentary, which made Jiang Qi silent for a long time.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Arsenal and AC Milan, two of the most attacking teams in European football today and also possession-based play, met in the semi-finals of the Champions League and were hyped as "battle for the peak".
What's more, before the season, Seedorf and Ljungberg, two seemingly indispensable players in their respective line-ups, swapped owners, and then both showed good competitive form, breaking all kinds of doubts from the onlookers in one fell swoop......
However, there are satisfied giants, and there are also disappointed giants, such as the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid.
Although Monaco was eliminated, Lyon still grabbed a place in Ligue 1 in the semi-finals, and returned to the bloody 3:1 at home to make Queiroz out...... These star-studded names are further and further away from the glory of the season.
The Champions League is out, and the advantage that was originally accumulated at the top of the league table has gradually been eaten away by Benitez's Valencia, and the next few rounds of the league may be overtaken by the Bat Army if one is not careful, so there is no suspense about the outcome of Queiroz's season.
If there is any hope that Queiroz will change his fortunes, Ranieri's resume at Stamford Bridge has come to an end for sure.
The home team was beaten by two goals from Porto, and it is clear that Mr. Tinker has no choice in the second leg of the away trip, so ...... Crazy attack!
Unfortunately, Ranieri's opponent is the Magic Bird, and the guy who has been focusing on defending for 20 years has once again shown how good the defensive system he has built is to resist pressure and attack. The Blues, who were not fully integrated in attack, were torn apart by Porto's defenders and plunged into individual singles, with only Rivaldo hitting the post from a free-kick and getting so close to scoring that he had to settle for a 0-0 scoreline.
The second game of this round of the Champions League sent the Blues away 0-0, and also announced the fate of Ranieri, after chasing Arsenal in the league only theoretically possible, Ranieri's coaching whip may be unceremoniously withdrawn by his Russian boss, after all, investors do not hesitate to invest on the premise of being able to see a return.
Fortunately, for Jiang Qi, who had seen part of the "future", these results were expected, but Seedorf's state surprised him a little, and that's it.
However, the league is still the main front in the near future, because the pressure on Roma has not been relieved for a moment.
At the Efra Franqui in Siena, Jiang Qi only relaxed after hearing the final whistle of the game, although the game was not shocking, AC Milan took the lead in the score early, but he was always a little apprehensive because of the sharpest knife in the Siena team - the veteran Chiesa accumulated yellow cards and was suspended, so the opponent's counterattack was always a little lacking, so Jiang Qi and his players successfully took away the three points.
"Is the game over at Rome?" , Jiang Qi saw Chascini when he walked into the passage of the stadium.
"Shit luck guys!" The uncle was a little angry, "Cassano killed before the end, and they won again!" ”
In recent league games, Capello's team has actually played very hard, winning by one goal or coming back from half-time down in successive games, but the bite of Milan's breath has not been relaxed at all. In this round against Modena, who were red-eyed for relegation, they were scored in the opening game and fell behind for most of the game, before Totti equalized in the 83rd minute, and Cassano's strike in stoppage time kept Roma on four points.
"Anla, it's unrealistic to pin your hopes on the opponent capsizing, Capello's ability to score points should be better known than me, the most important thing is to be ourselves, the next game against Udinese ......", Jiang Qi frowned slightly, "This team has been a little unprovoked recently." ”
